SCIPP supports and coordinates outreach summer programs for high school teachers. For the past three years SCIPP has hosted the Research Experience for High School Teachers (RET) Summer Program. This intensive eight week session concentrates on building the bridge between our higher and secondary educational institutions, in addition to developing a comprehensive high school physics curriculum.
Our recent focus has been the Tesla Coil system. We have developed a traveling high school physics demonstration which centers around the show stopping tesla display and other physics models.
